120 Build

The corner tank is a 40 breeder lit by an ATI T5 fixture, so I'll have the main display lit by LEDs and the frag tank lit by T5s. Should be fun to see how corals look in the two different types of lighting. Below the 40 breeder is the top off reservoir and RODI.

For the sump I went with a 60 breeder which has plenty of space. Not much in there yet for equipment, but I'm trying to keep it super simple.

My 40 breeder has been trucking along pretty well in the meantime and accumulating frags ... few ups and downs but have learned a lot of lessons that will help in maintaining the bigger system.

Looks great. Nice clean setup.

Looks great! But I’m curious did SCA ever respond? Did they arrange to pick up the 150?

Thanks! SCA didn't do anything and stopped responding. I was left with the two tanks and ended up selling the 150 to a member on here for a good deal. Kept the other one. So I did end up recouping a bit of the money... turned out OK in the end. I do think their build quality is pretty decent and their prices are below most custom tanks, but as others noted... don't expect any customer service.

I never talked with him by phone, no. He was very responsive initially.
